Introduction
What is EFILive?
EFILive is tuning software and hardware - it is not a tune. Together the software
and hardware give users the tools to write tunes. EFILive does not provide tune
files, tuning advice or support, but do provide software support and hardware
support.
What is EFILive CSP5?
What is EFILive CSP5?

EFILive's CSP5 custom operating systems for Cummins controllers allows
customers to be able to switch 'on the fly' between multiple tunes, all stored in the
ECM's flash memory. Historically, Cummins Switchable Programming had 5 tune
positions; however as supported Cummins platforms have expanded this no
longer holds true. ECM memory now defines the number of tunes that are
available for switching for each ECM type as per the table below.
CSP Controller Matrix
CMB (CM849) 2006-2007 5.9L CSP5 5 tunes accessible through CAN
bus switching, and a 6th tune that is
CMC (CM2100A) 2007-2009 6.7L CSP5
switched using an input on one of
the ECM connectors.
CMD (CM2200) 2010-2012 6.7L CSP5 5 Tunes accessible through CAN
Pick Up Trucks bus switching.
CMD (CM2200) 2010-2012 6.7L CSP2 2 tunes accessible through CAN
Cab & Chassis bus switching.
CME (CM2350B) 2013-2018 6.7L CSP4 4 tunes accessible through CAN
bus switching.
CMF (CM2450B) 2019+ 6.7L CSP5 5 tunes accessible through CAN
bus switching.
Whilst different controllers contain different numbers of tunes, collectively this
feature is still referred to as CSP5.
Having multiple tunes instantly accessible means changing tunes to suit different
driving conditions no longer requires the ECM to be reflashed each time you
choose to run a different tune. (E.g. racing, towing, or power limiting.) Simply build
multiple tunes to fill the CSP5 slots, flash the ECM once and then select your
desired tune through your EFILive hardware (or other approved switching devices)
at any time.
CSP5 delivers scanning enhancements to customers via Enhanced Data
Acquisition (EDA). EDA, EFILive’s custom scanning mode is the first of its kind
and aims to simplify the task of information sharing between users as every

individual data parameter has been selected with tuning feedback in mind. EDA
allows customers to log 45 individual data parameters specifically chosen to
complement tuning at up to 50 frames per second for V8 BBL & V7.5 pass through
logging.
EDA scanning is only available on CSP5 upgraded ECM's.
Software Version Overview

This version of the Cummins 6.7L CM2350B CSP5 User Guide migrates all
processes to EFILive V8 Scan and Tune software. Functionality is still available in
V7.5 software, however software support and bug fixes will cease in 2021.
FlashScan/AutoCal V3 and AutoCal V2 are not compatible with V7 software. V7
functions are only supported by FlashScan V2. The following is a brief view of the
activities that are performed with the different software versions:
Feature V7 V8

CSP5 Upgrade
CSP5 Upgrade Checklist

CSP5 upgrades are only available on specific factory operating systems. Typically
these are based on the latest factory update (at time of development). If you have
a truck that has an OS not listed below, you will need to upgrade your base file
first.
Supported CSP5 operating systems are listed in the table below. These were the
latest factory updates as of early 2018; released 7 years after this ECM type was
introduced.
EFILive will not be offering CSP on older, obscure or obsolete OS's. No further
EFILive development is scheduled for the Dodge Cummins CME platform.

Where a vehicle has been previously tuned with a product other than EFILive, the
conversion process may fail and render the ECM non-functional and not
recoverable.
EFILive recommends users source a good known base file for CSP5.
To upgrade to CSP5 exclusively in EFILive V8 Scan and Tune software you must
be running the following (or higher) software versions.
1. EFILive V8.3.5 or later.
2. FlashScan V3 / AutoCal V3 Firmware – V3.00.060.
3. FlashScan V2 / AutoCal V2 Firmware - V2.08.170.
The latest software versions are available for download from EFILive's website.
Upgrade Operating System to CSP5

1. Open V8 Scan and Tune software and your stock tune file.
2. Navigate to [F5: Edit].
3. Expand the Internal Flash -> Operating System Patches Folder and select CSP5
v1.02 Custom Operating System.
4. Select the [Apply Upgrade] button.
5. Select [Yes] to the “This operation cannot be undone, continue?” dialog box.
6. A message indicating “Upgrade applied successfully.” will now display.
7. Save the file with a new name using, File > Save As. Maybe something like...
'My Truck Base CSP5 Conversion.ctz’.
8. Close the tune file.
9. On the EFILive V8 Scan and Tune Recent Items list you will see your stock tune
and your upgraded CSP5 tune. Confirm that the operating system number on the
base file is different to the upgraded CSP5 converted file.
10. Reopen the tune file that was converted.

11. Navigate to [F5: Edit] and expand the EFILive Custom Calibrations folder.
12. EFILive automatically populates the new CSP5 tables with factory values during
the upgrade. On modified engines these may not be suitable settings, so you
may need to copy your own tables in to the new CSP5 section(s).
Program #1 to Program #3 have factory values inserted into the maps. Program
#4 contains the values from the standard OS maps prior to the CSP5 conversion.
13. Edit the values on your individual tunes, and [Save] the changes to your tune file.
14. Flash the CSP5 tune into your ECM. Refer to pass-thru flashing, FlashScan
V3/AutoCal V3 flashing or FlashScan V2 flashing for further instructions.
Tune Switch Password

Users may restrict tune selection by adding a password to move between tune
selections to prevent unauthorized switching between tunes 1 to 5.
Before switching between tune selections, users would need to enter in the
password (1 to 9999). If the password is correct, the tune will switch, if it is
incorrect the tune will not switch.
It should be noted that not all switching devices may support this function,
however EFILive's own FlashScan and AutoCal hardware does.
To enable the tune switch password, users need to input their chosen password in
the calibration. As the calibration description states, if the password = 0 then there
is no password prompt given to the user when switching tunes.

CSP5 CAN Tunes
The CSP5 tunes labelled "Program #1 to Program #4" are all switched via a device
on the CAN bus.
NOTE: Whenever the ECM is reflashed tune switching will default to using CSP5
Program #4 unless the Default CSP Tune After Reflash parameter is set.
Supported Switching Methods

EFILive’s CSP5 custom operating system can be switched using EFILive
FlashScan/AutoCal V3, FlashScan/AutoCal V2, and the SoCal Diesel CSP5 switch
and the Starlite Diesel StarLog.
EFILive recommends that customers confirm that their chosen integration product
is approved for use.
To setup an approved integration product, users should:
1. Convert their base file to a CSP5 operating system, as described in this
document.
2. Edit tune parameters as necessary and save the file.
3. Flash their modified file into their ECM using the V8 Scan and Tune
application as described in this document. (Specific selection of 3 rd party
product is NOT required in tune file).
4. Setup the 3rd party device as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

V8 Scan and Tune Scan
Pass-Thru Data Logging

To log data using FlashScan or AutoCal and V8 Scan and Tune software;
1. Open the EFILive V8 Scan and Tune.
2. Connect your FlashScan/AutoCal device to your PC and vehicle.
3. Turn the vehicle ignition to the On position.
4. Select an existing Dashboard configuration either by using the [Open Dash]
button or using the Dashboard drop down, or configure your own customized
dashboard after making controller and PID selections.
5. Navigate to the [F2: Scan] -> [F2: PIDs] menu option.
6. In the Engine field use the drop-down list to select the correct controller type or
use Auto Detect option.
7. Drag the selected PID from Available PIDs window into the Selected PIDs
window.
8. Navigate to the [F3: Data], [F4: Charts], [F5: Gauges] or [F6: Maps] tab and
configure your dashboard to customize data display formats.
9. Users should [Save Dash] to save their custom configurations to reduce future
configuration requirements.
10. Start the vehicle.
11. Select either Record or Monitor from the [F3: Data], [F4: Charts], [F5: Gauges]
or [F6: Maps] screens.
12. Select Stop to stop the data logging session.
13. Save the log.
14. To replay the data log, navigate to the [F3: Data], [F4: Charts], [F5: Gauges] or
[F6: Maps] tab and select the appropriate Playback buttons.
Important note for tuners:

If your CSP5 tune does not seem to be switching as expected please check the
data in the "AIRDENSC_F" PID. For CSP5 to work correctly the "AIRDENSC_F"
PID must be in 'Mode5, Normal Mode." If any other modes are active (e.g.
Protection Mode) then the ECM will not be using normal Altitude based tables, and
therefore will not using the CSP5 tables.
Protection Mode is a direct result of tuning strategy or DPF regen states.
Pass-Thru Licence and Flash a Controller

Follow these steps to license and flash the selected controller.
1. Open the EFILive Scan and Tune application.
2. Connect your FlashScan/AutoCal to your PC and your vehicle.

Support
Trouble Shooting
Should users encounter problems with upgrading to CSP5 they should:
1. Confirm software, firmware and boot block versions match the CSP5 minimum
requirements.
2. Confirm CSP5 file was upgraded to new operating system number, as
sequenced above.
3. If you are concerned your device is not switching between tunes, edit your
tunes to see a notable difference (ie Pedal to Desired Fuel table), reflash and
then test. Also note the EDA data stream has a parameter that indicates which
tune the ECM is running
4. Check RSA Digital Signature has been removed (required for all 2009+
vehicles).
5. CSP5 tune files cannot be read from the ECM.
6. Check that checksums are valid.
7. Remove/isolate all after-market devices including mobile phone adapters, after-
market equipment (audio systems, security, remote start etc.) and any devices
wired into the OBD port that may interfere with vehicle communications.
8. DO NOT operate any vehicle feature that may communicate on the data bus.
This includes opening or closing of hood, doors, windows, as well as changing
settings on radio, HVAC, connecting/removing charging devices etc.
Error Codes
If an error occurs while using AutoCal, users can look up the error code
description in the EFILive V8 Scan and Tune software.
The [F8: Tools] -> [F8: Error Codes] menu item provides an error code lookup
function, and the “EFILive Error Codes.pdf” document accessed by selecting the
Windows Start Icon and navigating to Program Files->EFILive->V8->Documents-
>EFILive Error Codes.pdf is also available. Both options provide error code
descriptions, causes and actions.
Should the issue not be resolved after reviewing the Error code list, end users
should contact their Tuner for support.
Checksums
Checksums perform a vital role in ensuring the integrity of the data in the tune file.
There are two main reasons that checksums display as invalid:
1. The data in the file is corrupt and MUST NOT be flashed into a controller.
2. The data in the file has been modified with a software package that did not
update the checksums – such as a hex editor.
Do not correct the checksums unless you know the tune file was modified outside
of the EFILive software and that the modifications are correct and accurate.
If you correct the checksums of a file with corrupt data you are merely masking
corruption. If you flash a corrupt file into a controller, you risk damaging the
controller and/or causing the vehicle to operate incorrectly.
Failed Flash Recovery Methods

In the event that an ECM fails during the flashing process, recovery methods exist
to restore the ECM.
Flash Base with without tune file security restrictions.

In most instances, simply retrying the flash process will return the ECM to working
order.
In the instance where tuners apply security restrictions to a tune file, including
locking to the controller serial number, and the flash fails, you must try to recover
the ECM with a file that has no security restrictions in place (e.g. stock tune)
before attempting to reflash a file with security restrictions.
ROM Boot Recovery

In some flash failure instances the ECM may stop responding and cannot be
recovered to normal operation by simply retrying the flash.
Such situations may occur if the ECM was flashed with a non-compatible
operating system, or where the failed flash occurred right at the end of the process
but the ECM thinks it completed.
In these situations the ECM is usually only recoverable by forcing the ECM into
ROM Boot Recovery mode. Specialized bench programming equipment, such as
the BenchForce PowerBlock IV with ROM Boot Switch is required to perform this
task.
Tips to recover the ECM using this equipment includes:
1. The ECM must be powered down. (IGN switch off but battery power
connected.)
2. Hold the ROM Boot switch on.
3. Power the ECM and bench equipment.
4. Attempt to flash the ECM with your recovery file.
5. Once the flash is under way you can turn off the ROM Boot switch.
Test for Rogue Modules

For Customers with FlashScan/AutoCal V3 a range of test modes to check the
network for rogue modules that may cause read or flash operations to abort are
available.
Navigate to the Tune Tool -> F1: Tuning -> F4: Test OBD Network menu.
Select the Test CAN J1979 option for CAN based controllers.
Trace Files
V8 Scan and Tune *.htx files
When V8 Scan and Tune software reads or flashes a controller the details of the
read/flash process may be saved in trace files for diagnostic purposes.
In addition, users can manually save trace files where options do not perform the
desired outcome.
To manually generate a trace file, generate the error in V8 software, then open the
EFILive Control Panel and navigate to [F8: Trace] and select [Save Trace]. Users
